The Tennessee Historical Society. 

The general purpose of this Society is to collect, preserve and per- 
petuate facts and events connected with the history of Tennessee, the 
objects of the Association coming within the purview of the third 
paragraph of the first section of an Act of the General Assembly 
passed the 23rd day of March, 1875, entitled "An Act to provide for 
the organization of corporations," said paragraph being in these words : 
"The support of any literary or scientific undertaking, as a college or 
university, with power to confer degrees, an academy, a debating so- 
ciety lyceum, the support of a historical society, the promotion of 
music or fine arts, the support of boards of trade or chambers of com- 
merce, or other objects of like nature." 

The general powers of said corporation shall be to sue and be sued 
by the corporate name, to have and use a common seal, which it muy 
alter at pleasure ; if no common seal, then the signatures of the name 
of the corporation by any duly authorized officer shall be legal and 
binding ; to purchase and hold, or receive by gift, bequest or devise, 
in addition to the personal property owned by the corporation, real 
estate necessary for the transaction of corporate business, and also to 
purchase or accept any real estate in payment or in part payment of 
any debt due to the corporation, and sell the same; to establish by- 
laws and make all rules and regulations not inconsistent with the laws 
and constitution, deemed expedient tor the management of corporate 
affairs; and to appoint such subordinate officers and agents, in addi- 
tion to a President and Secretary or Treasurer, as the business of the 
corporation may require, designate the name of the officer, and fix 
the compensation of the oflSce. 



in Charter of the 



The said five or more corporators shall, within a convenient time 
after the registration of this charter in the ofiice of the Secretary of 
State, elect from their number a President, Secretary and Treasurer, 
or the last two officers may be combined into one. Said officers and 
the other corporators to constitute the first Board of Directors. 

In all elections each member shall be entitled to one vote, either in person 
or by proxy, and the result to be determined by a majority of votes 
cast. Due notice of any election must be given by advertisement in 
a newspaper, personal notice to the members, or a day stated on the 
minutes of the Board six months preceding the election. 

The Board of Directors shall keep a record of all their proceedings, 
which shall be at all times subject to the inspection of any member. 
The corporation may establish branches in any other county in the 
State. 

The Board of Directors may have the power to increase the number 
of Directors to seven or ten, if they deem the interest of the corpora- 
tion requires such increase ; and the first or any subsequent Board of 
Directors may have the power to elect other members, who. on accept- 
ance of membership, shall become corporators equally with the origi- 
nal corporators. 

The Board of Directors shall have the right to determine what 
amount of money paid into the treasury shall be a prerequisite for 
membership, or if necessary, what amount shall be thus annually paid, 
and a failure thus to pay shall, in the di-^cretion of the Directors, jus- 
tify the expulsion of said defaulting member. 

If said corporation is organized as a literary or educational institute, 
under the patronage of any Christian or Jewish denomination, the 
corporation .«hall have the power to increase the number of Directors 
or Trustees, to regulate the mode and manner of appointment of the 
same, or expiration of terms of service ; to regulate the number, duty 
and manner of election of officers, either actual or ex-officio; to appoint 
executive agencies, and to pass all other by-laws for the government of 
said institution as may be required by the denominations establishing 
the same; provided, said by-laws are not inconsistent with the Consti-

their successors are duly elected and qualified. 



Tennessee Historical Society. 11 

The general welfare of the Society, not individual profit, is the 
object for which this charter is granted, and hence the members are 
not stockholders in the legal sense ot the term, and no dividends or 
profits shall be divided among the members. 

The members may at any time voluntarily dissolve the corporation 
by a conveyance of its assets and property to any other corporation 
holding a charter from the State for purposes not for individual profit, 
first providing for corporate debts. A violation of any provisions of 
this charter shall subject the corporation to dissolution at the instance 
of the State. This charter is subject to modification or amendment, 
and in case said modifications or amendment is not accepted the 
corporate business is to cease, and the assets and property, after the 
payment of debts, are to be conveyed, as aforesaid, to some other cor- 
poration holding a charter to purposes not connected with individual 
profit. 

Acquiescence in any modifications thus declared shall be determined 
in a meeting of the members specially called for that purpose, and 
only those voting in favor of the modification shall thereafter compose 
the corporation. 

The means, assets, inc >raes, or other property of the corporation, 
shall not be employed, directly or indirectly, for any other purpose 
whatever than to accomplish the legitimate objects of its creation, and 
by no implication shall it possess the power to issue notes or currency, 
deal in currency, notes, or loan, buy or sell products, or engage in any 
kinds of tradings, nor hold any more real estate than is necessary for 
its legitimate purposes. 

Expulsion shall be the only remedy for the non-payment of dues by 
the members, and there shall be no individual liability against the 
members for creating debts, but the entire corporate property shall be 
liable for the claims of creditors. 

We, the undersigned, apply to the State of Tennessee, by virtue of 
the laws of the land, for a charter of incorporation for the purpose 
and with the power, etc.. declared in the foregoing instrument. 
Witness our hands, the 8th day of May, 1875.
